Rain did not deter vintage vehicle enthusiasts on Sunday who descended on The Haughs at Turriff.

The event saw Turriff and District Vintage and Classic Club hold its annual rally.

A huge variety of modes of transport were showcased which included cars, tractors, steam engines, lorries and motorbikes.

There was also a new category which featured year 2000+ customised cars.

Among the exhibitors was Peter Yeats from Mintlaw who had his 1936 Chenard Walcker on display.

He believes it is the only model of its kind in the UK.

Also taking part in the rally were John Hulme from New Deer and Steven West of Nottinghamshire.

They had a 1951 Riley RMA on show which John had owned for about 10 years.

The event had an auto jumble, trade stands, car boot and fun fair.

Macduff’s Tarlair Model Boat Club had its vessels on display which took to the water in a specially made pool.

The motorbike tent had models from throughout history exhibited with information provided about them.

As the day came to a close, cars, trucks and tractors took part in a parade around the ring which provided an opportunity for people to see the vehicles in action.

Turriff and District Classic and Vintage Club was established by the local community in the town and surrounding area.

Its aim is to bring people together to share their passion for vintage and classic vehicles and other machinery such as stationary engines. It also holds road runs which drivers can take part in with their vehicles.
